Chordplay - add9 Chords

[@troygottfried]

You make this so much more approachable - thank you for the work you put into these.

[@djangog2770]

Always love when a new lesson pops up! Makes my night! My favorite thing to do at night every night is to make a fresh pot of French press coffee and dig in to your lessons! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I am a better guitarist/musician because off you! I hope you never stop! 🎸🤘

[@BillLarkinmusic]

Thank you for the explications of a chord often overlooked. I personally love the 6add9 chords. Pure rock 'n roll ..

[@spookybaba]

I too was in awe of Andy Summer's use of the add9 in Every Breath when I worked it out many moons ago. Seems like another lifetime, now.

[@STAMPER-DESIGN]

Invaluable lesson for those of us mesmerized by the airy and haunting chords like these. Thank you Mr Brewster!

[@Jackie_Rosewood]

As always enjoyed the lesson David!! Hope you have a wonderful day!! 🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻😎😎

[@midiman5045]

Great lesson David. Thanks as always.

[@arturoromero8585]

Great lesson. I love ending songs with add9👌🎸

[@PeterFrayne-o4n]

Add 9 and sus2 are my favourite alterations of a chord in rock and pop. Great lesson by the way.

[@SuperBernardoful]

Great lesson, thank you! As far as add9 chords are concerned, instantly the opening riffs of Message in a bottle (by The Police) and Poison (by Alice Cooper) come to my mind.

[@greg77hot]

Thanks Dave...always loved these chords

[@TjByers369]

16:00 An absolutely outrageous and correct statement.

[@geoffknot]

great presentation. keep up the great job! 🔥

[@alejandropiccoplencovich]

Nothing like a sweet tone of a Tele ...reverb ...and some jeff Buckley's chord progressions!

[@TheStrings61]

Great lesson

[@tomatopie34]

My ear always perks up for that 2nd/9th interval. Probably goes back to being obsessed with Fates Warning and the Police, but I stick a sus2, add9, or minor 9 in just about everything I write.

[@dougstubbs4351]

Thanks in advance for this one. Hey in the near future could you please do a lesson on common tones and tetra chords 🙏. Nice shirt sir.

[@eddieholmes3236]

A saw Andy Summers play a few months ago. Definitely bad ass, and very entertaining.

[@djangog2770]

That EMajor add 9 chord is in diary of a madman. It's the last chord in the intro progression right before randy goes into that "A" motif riff.

[@djangog2770]

That's a song I would love to see you pick apart. Especially that spacey airy middle section. Cool chords in there

[@Owl-qh2rh]

Mate!!!! So many points id like to share here.. first off brilliant vid!!! I came up with a hook this week and in trying to figure out what i was doing to build a song around it (lol) i realised it was like the blues shuffle thing you did, 6th. Thats a first for me lol. But tied right in there oth what you were saying about hoping it inspires a song or direction of a song to add something unthought of so.. tick! Mission accomplished!! Thank you 🙏 Also, i wrote a song in the 90's that uses the Em add9 and was working out a harmony guitar part 3rd up (to G) and hello every breath you take.. damnabbit!!! 😂 But i found a different voicing to save it lol whew! I also have another original song im working on that has a couple of 9th's chords!!! Its such a beautifully sad sound.. really touches the heart.. those moments in life that are so sad where one realises viscerally they were lucky to have known such Love and then gratitude eases/replaces grief. Beautifully sad, thats what some of those add 9 voicings remind me of. 🙏🕊️ I'm going to have to watch this a few times and zoom in on the voicings you were doing.. 🧐 Sooooo Coooooool!!! 🙏 Magic 👍 THANK YOU!!!! BLESS 😎🙏🕊️✨👼

[@nickjonhagan]

Is it lover you should of come over by Jeff? Btw Lots of prince tracks use add 9s and sus2 Great lesson

[@leechild4655]

Can you tell me what this chord is? I couldn`t name a chord to save my life. At the 12th fret you have E an B with the 3rd and 4th fingers and Gb on the 11th fret with the 3rd finger, and the D string is muted. Then the first finger is holding the Ab on the 5th string and finally the low E is open. Hit the chord and turn the amp up and hear how fat and full it sounds. Is it an add 9 or something?

[@LateNightLessons]

If I'm reading your chord description correctly, that would be an Eadd9 (major). The "Gb" is actually F# and the "Ab" is actually G#, but yes - that's an Eadd9. Frets from low E to high E = 0-11-X-11-12-12 Right? If so, then that's totally an Eadd9 chord. That's a nice voicing and thanks for chiming in here! ROCK ON!

[@leechild4655]

@@LateNightLessons Thank you! I thought it was E add9 but wasnt sure. Cheers!

[@billmitchell2080]

Robin Trower?

[@LateNightLessons]

Hey! There's plenty of Trower-related lessons on the channel, so do a search and you'll find those lessons. He's a total guitar legend! There's Chordplay, Three-For-All, and even a Soloing Secrets lesson - dive in!

[@eldoctortangalanga6480]

Srv soloing secrets

[@LateNightLessons]

Hey, I can assure you that a SRV Soloing Secrets is coming, but it's not quite time for SRV yet - but he's coming. There are Chordplay and Three-For-All lessons for SRV, so dig into those and maybe the Hendrix and Albert King stuff too, and more SRV will be here before you know it. Stay tuned...and thanks!

[@eldoctortangalanga6480]

@LateNightLessons great thanks!!

[@djangog2770]

Have you done anything on 6 chords?

[@Cookiedust-h5o]

I agree add9 and major7 chords on electric guitar sound fantastic, but I prefer Cobain's vocal medody compositions way more than Buckley's. Thanks!

[@LateNightLessons]

I didn't mean to be so harsh in that part - it just came out that way. Sorry! I don't hate Nirvana, but I'm not really a fan - Dave Grohl is cool though! Anyway, I'll try to be nicer. Thanks and ROCK ON!

[@Wyldwulf]

My smoove brain still doesn't comprehend why it's not add2.

[@LateNightLessons]

Actually, once upon a time it was common to see these chords written as add2 (and also add4), but that changed somewhere in the 1980s, and eventually the "add9" and "add11" names became the preferred way to title these chords. Or at least that's what I've noticed from reading transcription books and guitar magazines since I was a kid. I think the Satriani Surfing With The Alien tab book uses add2 and add4 chord names in the transcriptions. I could be wrong on that specific example (without looking at my copy), but I know I have lots of older books and magazines that named these chords that way. The more things change, the more things change I guess. Haha! Either way is technically correct - but you may have someone try to correct you on using the "add2" term. Thanks and ROCK ON!

[@stevec9972]

Is it because it's using the next octave note of the 2 or root

[@spookybaba]

Think trying to play on the guitar intervals of 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 5th. You'd need foot long fingers. 😉

[@mpesta]

I’d say sus2 chords usually don’t have the 3rd. Same with sus4. But the add9 includes the 3rd in the chord.

[@Wyldwulf]

@@stevec9972 I think you could drop back to have a 2nd interval lower than your lowest root and it still be an "add9" if I understand correctly. And technically could also be possible to play a second 2 octaves up from the root on some notes I think... if using some broken chord with open strings...I'd have to play with that to make sure. That would make them like... add 20s. lol
